SSIA payouts send tourists flocking across the Atlantic

HOLIDAYMAKERS are heading in droves to the United States thanks to SSIA bonuses pouring into their bank accounts and rock-bottom prices due to a weak dollar.

Holidays to the States are at their cheapest in a long time for Irish tourists due to a benign exchange rate between the dollar and euro.

The value of the dollar against the euro is at its weakest ever, meaning people in euro zone countries can get more dollars for their money.
